"The advancement of the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor seems to have a fixed path," Xiao Mu thought. "Next, I must figure out a way on this fixed path."
Xiao Mu tried to connect the various white dots within the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and inputted Dao Method Spiritual Energy, only to find that this approach was futile.
Dao Method Spiritual Energy and Divine Authority are two completely different forms of power; the Dao Method Spiritual Energy and the white dots within the Seal couldn't merge.
"It seems I have to continue enhancing the King's Authority Sealing Technique. As long as I delegate more authority, my Emperor's Might can continue to rise, and it might even reach or surpass the level of the Creation Authority."
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Mu's attention returned to the Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown.
Using the King's Authority Sealing Technique to modify the Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown, it wasn't long before the crown bore Xiao Mu's mark.
Holding the Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown and feeling his own mark within it, Xiao Mu was quite satisfied with the outcome.
Now, all he needed to do was gift this Black Wind Spirit Commander Crown to someone, which would further enhance his Heavenly Emperor's Might.
The investigation of external Variant Beings must not be neglected. Fortunately, tonight Zhu Ping will bring back the Geography Chronicles, and perhaps I will be able to obtain information related to the Lord of Bai's Mansion, as well as from Yu Jiasheng. I hope he can provide relatively valuable clues.

Yu Jiasheng's state wasn't very good, having spent the entire day in irritation until the afternoon when he finally entered the warehouse and took out a treasure left by the Thunder God of Qing Jie.
"I hope this treasure is valuable enough to sway Mu Huaqing. Zhu Ping has attended many meetings and likely knows more than I do."
Staring at the treasure left by the Thunder God, Yu Jiasheng decided to contact Zhu Ping.
Zhu Ping was not surprised by Yu Jiasheng's request and, after hearing his intention, directly took him to Zhao Family's Xiao Mu's room.
"The room looks quite different from the last time I was here, it seems Mu Huaqing doesn't manifest every time."
Yu Jiasheng surveyed Xiao Mu's room, focusing on the setup and Xiao Mu's Divine Aspect.
The arrangement inside the room and the state of Xiao Mu's Divine Aspect surprised him, as it was much different from when he had last entered alone.
However, recalling the authority Xiao Mu had displayed during their last face-to-face meeting, Yu Jiasheng dared not show any disrespect.
"Mu Huaqing treats me as one of his own because he sees me in his usual state."
A strange thought flashed through Yu Jiasheng's mind, suddenly making him feel honored to be considered important.
"Leader Yu, please bow and pay respects with us to Brother Mu's Divine Aspect, so he may manifest," Zhu Ping's reminder suddenly rang in Yu Jiasheng's ear.
Bow? Pay respects?
Yu Jiasheng was momentarily stunned and looked at Zhu Ping, only to find that both Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian were showing utmost respect as if it was the norm.
Caught off-guard, he nodded, "Oh, alright!"
He then followed Zhao Zhuli along with the others in bowing and paying respects to Xiao Mu's Divine Aspect.
When Xiao Mu sensed this, he guessed immediately that it was Zhao Zhuli contacting him, his Divine Sense shifted swiftly, and he appeared above the Divine Aspect, opening his eyes.
"Hello, Brother Mu!"
"Greetings to Brother Mu!"
"Pay respects to Brother Mu!"
Zhao Zhuli and the newly joined Yu Jiasheng successively bowed to Xiao Mu's Divine Aspect.
"There's no need for formalities, please take a seat!"
Xiao Mu extended his hand, inviting everyone to sit, then he gave Yu Jiasheng an extra look and nodded towards him.
Yu Jiasheng felt respected and was slightly moved internally.
"Thank you, Brother Mu!" Led by Zhao Jingyan, everyone thanked Xiao Mu and then sat on the floor.
"Brother Mu, I've brought back the Geography Chronicles you wanted me to retrieve," Zhu Ping immediately stood up, took out the Geography Chronicles that were brought from the Land God's temple, and placed it on the altar table in front of Xiao Mu.
"Thank you for your efforts."
Xiao Mu encouraged Zhu Ping with a word, then directly took the Geography Chronicles using the Power of Incense Fire.
"Brother Mu, I also have important information to report." After setting down the Geography Chronicles, Zhu Ping didn't immediately retreat but stood aside, intending to continue reporting to Xiao Mu.
Yu Jiasheng, seeing this, seemed to understand something and nodded subtly: Zhu Ping seemed to be highly valued by Mu Huaqing and held a considerable position before him.
"Please speak!" Xiao Mu slightly raised his right hand, indicating for Zhu Ping to continue.
Zhu Ping bowed as a gesture of respect, then said, "Thank you, Brother Mu. I've recently conducted research and discovered that in Twilight Forest Village, there's a temple dedicated to the Lord of Bai's Mansion, and the Lord once used the Power of Creation to order the construction of a Pool of Chaos there."
Saying so, Zhu Ping detailed the information he had found to Xiao Mu.
A temple and a Pool of Chaos?
Xiao Mu was internally startled; a temple for the Lord of Bai's Mansion was no small matter. Whether the Pool of Chaos was related to the Ancient Well of Creation, or the place where I obtained the Creation Axe, was unknown.
After some thought, Xiao Mu felt that the two likely weren't the same; the Ancient Ground of Creation was clearly a treasure land left by the Creation Heavenly King, while the Pool of Chaos was commissioned by the Lord of Bai's Mansion, drastically different in nature.
"I wonder if there's a connection between the Pool of Chaos, the Ancient Well of Creation, or the Creation Axe? What was the Lord of Bai's Mansion's purpose for constructing the Pool of Chaos?"
Xiao Mu pondered shortly but found no clues, so he stopped pondering and waved at Zhu Ping, "I understand now, the information you provided is very useful."
